Hello Brenda

Yes I agree, I never enjoy November, even December is better as there is Christmas and then hurrah it is the New Year and Spring to look forward to.

The International Quilt Museum has some wonderful collections to look around and I have found it very enjoyable. I am sorry I missed the talk I will see if there is a catch up session. Thank you for this link and hope to see you on Tuesday.

Warm regards

Merrill

International Quilt Museum ....Lincoln Nebraska

Hi everyone

I admit that I get quite depressed by endless grey and miserable November days but this evening I listened to a wonderful talk given to the French speaking group of SAQA which was very enlightening and cheered up any winter day. The talk was given by Leslie Levi the director of the International Quilt Museum (in English!) and she mentioned that the museum had made available many Virtual Experiences to the public whilst they had created whilst the museum was closed due to the Covid-lockdown. It is a wonderful resource to explore so I hope some of you will follow me to wandering around this site to see this treasure trove of quilt exhibitions, talks, etc.
It really is the perfect antidote to a dismal day!!

Hi Brenda and all,

I would rather not enter all the titles that I have, rather upload my references list for Module 4 as a word document. However the system does not allow me to do this. Can I email it to one of the admins?

Regards,
Ildiko

Re: Useful References Database

ildiko.polyak@... (Ildiko Polyak) — Sun, 10 May 2020 02:07:55 -0700

As there are quite many, I wanted to upload it as a file.

Good morning students, tutors and support team

I will be posting the first batch of quilt images, as individual posts on FaceBook this morning. Hopefully you will all join in and participate in this learning activity.

Your list of references sounds great Ildyko. Can I ask...Are you trying to load it in Files?? You should be able to add rows for each references, with a personal comment about it, in the new Database called Useful References.
Let me know if you still can’t enter your references.

I think I have a nice reference list for Module 4 but I cannot upload it as a file here. Can I email it to one of the admins?

Developing a new learning activity #1 Writing Comments

brendawroe@... (Brenda Wroe) — Tue, 05 May 2020 06:14:34 -0700

Dear students, tutors and team support

The tutors are planning a learning activity which will be posted on our private Facebook group (QJ students 2018/2021) and should appear in the coming weeks. The idea is to present you, at regular intervals, with a number of quilt images and invite you to consider them individually and leave a ‘constructive comment�� in the comments box below each image.

The aim of this learning activity is to enable you to practise writing comments which are clear and concise and to learn from sharing your comments with your colleagues in the group. This will be an optional exercise and will not be assessed but we do encourage you all to participate and share your thoughts. No time limits will be placed on leaving comments.

The activity requires LOTS of images of quilts for which the makers have given permission for use with this educational purpose.

So please can you each send me (brendawroe@... or judgingtutor_bw@...) a few images for the pool (with a title and dimensions if possible). I will post them anonymously during the coming weeks so that your privacy is maintained. These images can be your own work or that of friends but please ensure that you have their permission to post them in our secret FaceBook group before you send them.

I have previously loaded an article written by a US quilt judge Scott Murkin in the Photos section of this site (groups.io) which is useful preparatory reading for the exercise.

We will run the exercise for a few weeks and just see how it goes.

Stay safe and keep well everyone

Brenda, Annette and Steve.

Rescheduling Module 5

brendawroe@... (Brenda Wroe) — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 10:00:23 -0700

Dear students

Thank you all for voting in our poll to decide on the next steps for Module 5.

The results indicated a clear preference for postponing the module until April 2021 and it will now take place, as previously planned in Edinburgh. We will need to confirm the new booking with the venue later in the year, probably when we all have a better understanding of the situation with the Covid-19 virus and its impact on international travel for everyone. We will inform you as soon as this has been done so that your personal plans can be made.

For those who are curious, all 17 students voted in the poll, 41% voted in favour of the online exercise in summer 2020 and 59% voted in favour of a group meeting in April 2021. No-one expressed 'no preference'.

The tutor team will endeavour to plan some judging-related activities to keep your skills active during the pause from formal study. If you have any ideas you would like to share with the tutors please feel free to contact anyone in the team.

Keep well and please stay safe.

Annette, Brenda and Steve.

Hi Everyone, I am just checking in with you all and hope you all are enjoying Module 2 of your course. I see that there hasn't been any chat on here but if you need this site to contact each other, please do so.

In the Files tab in this group you will find that we have uploaded various documents that may prove useful to you including a recommended reading list and scanned documents that you may like to read through at sometime.

Many best wishes Stephanie

Hello from me too!

Can I just add, as regards Module 2, the following, which you may not have considered, but your individual tutors may have already discussed with you;

- please give an introduction to this module.

- when you visit the chosen exhibition, please note the layout of the actual gallery, the colour of the walls the flooring the lighting etc. What effect does this have on the exhibition?

- Sunday papers and magazines often have critiques of exhibitions and shows, look at the language and comments made, make notes of these. These will give you ideas of the language that could be used to describe works of art.

- please read your logbook and submit the required work for the tick boxes.

Good luck!
